Double Glass Framed Mantis Shrimp

This could be the deadliest shrimp that has ever existed. They use clubs that are more like elbows than fists to punch their prey -- with the force of a bullet shot from a 22 caliber gun. If humans could move their arms a tenth of that speed, we would be able to throw a baseball into orbit. Not only can the Mantis Shrimp punch any fish into tomorrow, they also have 16 color receptive cones. That's 13 more cones than the human eye. We're pretty sure at this point that this shrimp is some sort of aquatic super hero.
